I’ve heard a lot of people using fiddler crabs to catch sheepshead, flounder, catfish, and trout (I’m fishing out of brackish water to explain the mixture of salt and freshwater fish). And I live on a river and behind my home is a bank and a marsh and both are loaded with fiddler crabs. I’d like to use them as bait but I can’t imagine how to hook them being that they have that shell. Or atleast hook them and still use them as LIVE bait.

I googled the mess out of it, but no site I found really addresses how you’d go about hooking them. And I know people do this all the time, so I decided I’d come here for the answer.

And I’d like a link to a website that explains it or a link to a picture that explains it. But if that’s not possible, detailed information would be great.

Thanks.
